Would you consider a Falcon?

[cbrookre]

Just curious, how many USA buyers would consider a Falcon instead of a Mustang if it were available in the US? I would personally like to have the opportunity to cross shop. Have always been a Ford buyer, like the power of the Mustang but would appreciate a little bit more practicality. I love the Mustang, but with the small kids that are also growing...

Maybe not instead but if it came out of Flat Rock, I'd say bring it!

Paul Walker would probably approve. Vin Diesel not so much. ;)

All I can think of is Top Gear.

Wouldn't buy one but I'd appreciate them bringing it stateside. I admittedly have a soft spot for the Chevy SS and would snag that up first.

Never ever going to happen. In 2016, the Falcon dies

I realize that, but reality has not hampered this forum before

Too many doors....no kids for me

Nope. But if they made a shorter wheel base, 2 seat version of the mustang I'd go after it.

I agree with TNcouple, no kids. Not for a long time.

A rear wheel drive 4 door based on the Mustangs chassis would have my attention. Maybe a 360+hp 2.7 EB (or better yet 300+hp diesel) and definitely a manual.
I've owned a couple of 5 series BMW's in the past and just love a fast, good handling, unassuming 4 door. Instead of a mustang? No. In addition to? Yes.

So pretty much just a smaller SHO?

 

[Ghostface]

Would love one, if they could keep it under 4000 lbs. and the same driving dynamics as the '15. One can only wish.

I would be all over one. I personally thought Ford should have brought this over years ago.

From the Australian sub-forum courtesy of member Utedog 7;

Ford have just announced the price details of the new XR8 which goes on sale 1 December 2014.

At AUS$52490 for the XR8 with leather seats, a supercharged V8 with 335KW (450hp), R spec suspension, plus all the other stuff including Brembos, 19 inch rims (8.0 front and 9.0 rear) plus satnav and reverse camera along with the Sync system and dual climate control.

V8, RWD, manual sedans are funny. I would own one. As long as it doesn't weigh as much as a tank.
